The CEO's Substitute Ex-Wife
Chapter 108: Apologizing
CHAPTER 108: APOLOGIZING
"Do you have anything else?"
"You’re angry." It was a definitive statement. Although he didn’t know what Wen Nuan was angry about, Ye Feimo was certain she was angry with him.
"I’d rather memorize my script than waste time being angry with you," Wen Nuan said coolly.
Ye Feimo snorted coldly and stepped back slightly. Wen Nuan felt a little more at ease. He had been too close, and the scent of his cologne filled her nostrils, making her thoughts sluggish.
Ye Feimo seriously affected her.
He sat on the bed, wanting to ask if she was in pain, but seeing Wen Nuan’s coldness, Ye Feimo was never one to be overly solicitous towards someone indifferent. So, he didn’t ask her if she was hurting.
Wen Nuan prayed in her heart for Ye Feimo to leave quickly.
"That night, I was a bit excessive with my words, but it wasn’t directed at you. If you’re still angry about that, there’s no need to be," Ye Feimo thought and thought but couldn’t figure out why Wen Nuan was angry, only considering this possibility.
Wen Nuan tilted her head in confusion. "Are you apologizing?"
Ye Feimo choked. He had never apologized before. At Wen Nuan’s question, his face instantly darkened, but he didn’t refute. He thought, perhaps if he didn’t refute, Wen Nuan would take it as an acknowledgment, and perhaps she wouldn’t be angry anymore.
Wen Nuan did take it as an acknowledgment and just wanted to whistle. "Oh, you finally apologized," she thought. Her mood instantly brightened. She just loved seeing Ye Feimo’s conflicted face.
’Be a little more conflicted, a little more, and I’ll forgive you even more.’
Seeing her happy, and having been put in his place, Ye Feimo’s face darkened. He reached out to pinch her cheek. "You brat, are you happy now?"
"Ow, ow, ow, gentle!" Wen Nuan lifted her leg to kick him, but he caught it along with the blanket. She was embarrassed, and Ye Feimo finally kindly released her cheek.
Wen Nuan had slept a lot and was energetic at night.
"Hey, have you eaten?"
This person always ate irregularly, which was why he suffered from stomach problems.
Ye Feimo shook his head. He hadn’t left the hospital since noon, so he hadn’t eaten. Wen Nuan, upon hearing this, sternly pointed at the fruit Cai Xiaojing had bought. "Go cut some fruit to eat, or go home and eat."
Ye Feimo’s heart warmed. This girl truly cared about his health. Remembering her angry words about him being cheap that day, Ye Feimo suddenly reached out and ruffled her hair. "Silly girl, I told you, you’re not cheap at all."
She was his priceless treasure.
He was rarely so gentle, and Wen Nuan was a bit unaccustomed to it. She truly was masochistic, used to the unpredictable Ye Feimo.
"Nonsense. Lin Ning said I’m your cash cow, so of course I’m not cheap," Wen Nuan proudly hummed. Ye Feimo just pursed his lips, saying nothing, and took some fruit to peel and eat.
Cai Xiaojing had bought apples, oranges, and grapes. Ye Feimo chose an orange, the least troublesome kind.
"Hey, you should go home and eat."
"You didn’t cook."
Wen Nuan paused, thought of Han Bi, and said nonchalantly, "Han Bi didn’t cook for you?"
Right, she was a superstar, so noble and elegant; how could she possibly cook?
Ye Feimo’s good mood vanished. He looked up, gazing coldly at her. Wen Nuan was puzzled, then gave a bitter smile. Han Bi could indeed influence his moods. That person was simply different to him.
Ye Feimo, on the other hand, was angry. Out of nowhere, why did she bring up Han Bi?
Besides, even if Han Bi cooked, he might not appreciate it or eat it.
"What nonsense are you talking about?" Ye Feimo’s clear, moon-like gaze was fixed intently on her.
"Aren’t you two back together?" Wen Nuan asked as if it were obvious. "You even took her home, so you must be back together."
Ye Feimo’s eyes narrowed dangerously, and a menacing low pressure spread through the ward. He looked at Wen Nuan coldly and asked, "How do you know about me and Han Bi? Who told you?"
Not many people knew about this. The thought of Wen Nuan competing with Han Bi recently made Ye Feimo even more displeased. When did she find out?
Wen Nuan sensed his cold, severe gaze and thought to herself, ’Is Han Bi some kind of secret? Why is he so angry?’
Or was Han Bi so important to him that no one could say a word about her?
Did she really need to be treated like such a precious treasure?
Wen Nuan didn’t hide it from him. Of course, she couldn’t tell him about that night on the Milan Spring rooftop with Cheng Anya and Han Bi. Wen Nuan said, "That day you took me to the banquet, you two were talking on the balcony, and I happened to be admiring the view behind you."
Ye Feimo sneered coldly, "I didn’t know you had a hobby of eavesdropping."
His tone was extremely displeased.
For some reason, he was extremely unwilling for Wen Nuan to know about his past with Han Bi.
He hadn’t expected her to know so early.
Wen Nuan heard his sarcastic tone and scoffed. "Please, Young Master Ye, you’re not even worth eavesdropping on. I was listening openly. Don’t blame others for eavesdropping if you didn’t notice someone on the balcony, alright?"
This accusation was unjust.
She couldn’t bear it.
It seemed Han Bi was indeed very important to him.
Ye Feimo clearly didn’t want to discuss this with Wen Nuan and said indifferently, "There’s nothing going on between us."
"Just reconcile then," Wen Nuan said with a brilliant smile. "Congratulations, Young Master Ye, you finally got what you wanted."
The orange in Ye Feimo’s hand was instantly crushed. He abruptly stood up, stormed out, and the slamming door reverberated through the entire floor several times, quite frighteningly.
Cai Xiaojing, who was on the phone in the corridor, heard the slamming door and was startled. She hastily said, "I have to go, goodbye."
Ye Feimo walked past her, his face grim, exuding a terrifying aura—an air of "approach me and die." Cai Xiaojing wisely chose to remain silent, watching Ye Feimo descend in the elevator, his expression cold, without looking back.
She rushed into the ward. "What happened between you two again?"
The level of their arguments was getting higher and more alarming each time. Ye Feimo was truly furious this time.
Wen Nuan was also baffled. "I didn’t say anything! It was just about him and Han Bi. I accidentally overheard it on the balcony at the last banquet, and he got this angry after finding out."
"Impossible. What’s there to be angry about?" Cai Xiaojing was speechless. Ye Feimo’s temper certainly wasn’t good, but Wen Nuan would know about this sooner or later. What was there to be so angry about?
She was utterly perplexed. Wen Nuan must have said something else to anger him.
